The University of Missouri System will establish an Accounts Payable Service Center on the Columbia campus that primarily covers the functions of purchase orders, travel and expenses, non-purchase orders and vendor creates. The transition to this new service center is already underway and will continue throughout the remainder of this fiscal year. Primary support of activities associated with purchase orders, travel and expenses, non-purchase orders and vendor creates is being moved to the service center and away from local support.
As a key first step in this service center transition, the UM System invites all to an informational kick-off meeting. Send a departmental representative that plays a key role in working within the accounts payable functional areas so they may learn more regarding the changes taking place.
This meeting will provide information about how the new service center will operate, provide a timeline for the transition underway in this fiscal year, explain what the phases of the timeline are to accomplish and share other information pertinent to the success of the transition.
The Accounts Payable Service Center kick-off meeting will be conducted from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, in the Carver Room of the Havener Center. For more information about the event, contact the accounting and fiscal services department at 341-4189.
